The civil rights of women, immigrants, American Indians, and many other groups also hung in the balance following the Civil War, and they continue to be discussed today. When looking at the term 'New Birth of Freedom' with regards to American Indians, things get a lot more complicated. When the 14th amendment was passed granting African Americans ...

2015-11-16 Mount Roraima, Venezuela / The longest Distance / Die längste Entfernung / A maior Distância / La distancia más Larga

The good Life / Das gute Leben / A boa Vida / La buena Vida
'What is the good life?' is a question as old as philosophy itself. In fact, it is the question that birthed philosophy as we know it.

2018-11-14 Natal, Brazil / Slice of Life / Stück des Lebens / Fatia de Vida / Rebanada de Vida
Secrets and lies in a slice of life - from Brazil to Tahiti. Life, observed and examined with the emphasis on the very moment, with the intent of focusing on that moment rather than using that moment. It is in the moments that my heart swells with gratitude for what is here now: for the smallest ...
Machines can Help / Maschinen können Helfen / Máquinas podem Ajudar / Máquinas pueden Ayudar
Machines are being built to communicate. Machines no longer just mechanize Human tasks as they have since the industrial age – they are adapting and changing the way we think, interact and live. A two-way communication between Human and machine will be at the center of this relationship. Machine communication is a natural extension of the ...
I am a stranger in this World / Ich bin ein Fremder in dieser Welt / Eu sou um estranho neste Mundo / Soy un extraño en este Mundo
As a 'Stranger', I have made a decision to reject and fight against this World. This makes me a deserter, an outsider, indeed, a stranger in an alien World. Obviously, this is not an easy choice. I am not a peaceful man, a man content and willing to accept the will of God. No, I am a ...

Don’t be afraid of Change / Habe keine Angst vor Wandel / Não tenha medo da Mudança / No tengas miedo al Cambio
Humans do not like change even though we seek new experiences. Our natural tendency is to hold onto what is comfortable and in turn we jeopardize our ability to expand, enjoy, and evolve. You have to change if you want to grow. You have to grow if you want to improve. You have to improve yourself if ...
2014-11-09 Natal, Brazil / In Memory of Love / In Erinnerung an die Liebe / Na memória do Amor / En memoria del Amor
More than she wants the stuff you can buy her or the things you can teach her, she wants you to love her. No one else on Earth can assume your role as Dad. Your daughter will let you down, make mistakes, and maybe even turn her back on you, but do not ever let her ...
2016-11-09 New York, USA / You are not going to be President / Sie werden kein Präsident Sein / Você não vai ser Presidente / No vas a ser Presidente
It was not just the experts, the politicians or the comedians who got it so historically, incredibly wrong. The professional pollsters who devised meticulous methodologies for forecasting election results were also caught terribly wrong. The Princeton Election Consortium gave Clinton a 99% chance of winning. The Huffington Post gave her 98%, PredictWise gave her 89%, and the ...
That was the Way / Das war der Weg / Esse foi o Caminho / Ese era el Camino
I do not like direction unless it is wanted. I do not like unwanted advice and I really do not like others telling me to change something in my life just because they disagree. It does not make me an anarchist. It does not mean I do not care because I do but I was raised ...
2010-11-07 Sao Paulo, Brazil / Light and Shadow / Licht und Schatten / Luz e Sombra / Luz y Sombra
The grave magnitude of the Brazilian crisis is such that we lack means of explaining it. Trying to go beyond the classic approaches of critical sociology, we have invoked the explanatory capacity of the psychoanalytical categories of ‘light and shadow’. We tried out a possible understanding that comes to us from the theory of chaos, an important ...

The darkest Night / Die dunkelste Nacht / A noite mais Escura / La noche mas Oscura
When life takes you to the darkest night, absolutely no one around you can understand how you feel or what you are going through. Others may have had a similar experience, but only you can react to your situation the way that you do. You are forced to stare at yourself, as though you are standing in ...
Gross Domestic Product / Bruttoinlandsprodukt / Produto Interno Pruto / Producto Interno Bruto
Whatever you may think progress looks like, the governments of the World have long held the view that only one statistic, the Gross Domestic Product, can really show whether things seem to be getting better or getting worse. It is a figure that compresses the immensity of a national economy into a single data point of surpassing ...

My own Way / Mein eigener Weg / Meu próprio Caminho / Mi propia Manera
It seems to be Human nature, to want to be liked and to be accepted, the insane pursuit of conformity. But you can make a conscious effort to stop giving a damn; to let yourself free. It is a skill that needs to be practiced, like any other skill. Once you truly understand how to let ...
If life was a Simulation / Wenn das Leben eine Simulation Wäre / Se a vida fosse uma Simulação / Si la vida fuera una Simulación
Philosophers as far back as Plato millennia ago speculated that what we see may not be real at all. Every night, most of us enter a dream-state where the physical laws of the universe are completely suspended, and we have little to no idea what this means. Many people do not think dreams are worth looking into. ...
The great dance of Love / Der große Tanz der Liebe / A grande dança do Amor / La gran danza del Amor
In my search for the truth, I have come to conclusion that the ultimate purpose of life is to love. It is not to be loved or desire Love, it is to love everything, to develop compassion for all. To become Love. The reason our purpose is to become love is because Love is the deepest ...
